Transform Your Posture with Japanese Reset Therapy
– Catherine from Canton de Soleturn
Client Experience
Catherine came to JRT with persistent pain in the upper back (between the shoulder blades), the right hip area, and the shoulder/upper arm. As a recorder player, she also experienced arm pain related to prolonged playing posture.
After a series of JRT sessions, she kindly shared this review:
“Mariko’s gentle but deep-acting treatment has done wonders to relieve my back and neck pain, and rebalance my posture. I can heartily recommend her!”
The photos below compare her posture at the 1st session and after the 14th session. They illustrate the postural changes observed during her course of treatment.
Every person is different, and results vary, but it is always rewarding to see improvements that help clients move more comfortably in their daily lives.
This original therapeutic concept was brought from Japan in 2016 to introduce to those who suffer from lasting years’ chronic symptoms such as pain.
Japanese Reset Therapy® is an innovative therapy to release tension of muscles by applying gentle touch.Instead oftrying to massage the muscles, it aims at restoring the neuromuscular feedback circuit between the brain and the muscle, which secondarily leads to a muscular relaxation.
The consequence of this muscle relaxation is the improvement of the blood circulation, the correction of postural defects, and the improvement of your natural healing abilities. As a consequence, all the malfunctions which were the results of a disturbance of the neuromuscular feedback circuit are improved.
The purposes of the Reset Therapy are the next : – To balance the entire body by correcting distortions of the body – To mitigate the cause of symptoms – To maintain a high level of well-being
By using your natural ability to mitigate, it is possible to maintain a better health condition. Our goal is to help you regain your vitality and to show you how to self mitigate and to stay in good health.
Many people are surprised to learn that enjoying thunderstorms is not uncommon. There are several psychological reasons why some people are fascinated by thunder and lightning. These reasons vary from person to person.
1. Awe at the Power of Nature
Thunderstorms remind us of the immense power of nature.
People who enjoy them often experience:
A sense of wonder.
Respect for nature’s strength.
Excitement from witnessing something beyond human control.
2. Enjoying the Thrill
As long as they are in a safe place, some people enjoy the excitement that thunderstorms bring.
They may also enjoy:
Roller coasters.
Horror movies.
Other adrenaline-filled experiences.
3. Appreciating Their Beauty
Some people see thunderstorms as beautiful rather than frightening.
They may be drawn to:
The dramatic flashes of lightning.
The deep rumble of thunder.
The atmosphere created by rain, wind, and dark clouds.
There are even storm photographers and “storm chasers” who travel specifically to observe and photograph thunderstorms.
4. Feeling Calm and Secure
Although it may seem surprising, thunderstorms can make some people feel relaxed.
This may happen because:
The sound of thunder reminds them of comforting childhood memories.
Rain and low-frequency sounds are soothing.
They feel safe indoors while nature rages outside.
5. A Strong Connection with Nature
People who are emotionally sensitive often feel deeply connected to natural phenomena.
They may:
Notice subtle weather changes.
Feel inspired by nature.
Experience thunderstorms as a reminder of Earth’s living energy.
6. A Symbol of Renewal
In some cultures and spiritual traditions, thunder represents:
Cleansing.
Renewal.
Powerful energy.
Some people even feel that the air becomes fresher and their mind clearer after a thunderstorm.
A Final Note.
Loving thunderstorms does not mean ignoring their dangers. Thunderstorms can be extremely dangerous, and anyone who hears thunder should seek shelter in a substantial building or a car .
If you’re looking for a gentler kind of reset, why not experience Japanese Reset Therapy® (JRT)? My hope is that every session helps you reset your body, refresh your mind, and leave with a smile!
Here’s a glimpse of the thunderstorm that passed by the JRT cabinet on Thursday.
Many people in their 40s and 50s start to notice that their near vision becomes blurry — a condition known as presbyopia. At the same time, our respiratory ability also tends to decline. What many don’t realize is that vision and breathing are closely connected through the autonomic nervous system. When we breathe correctly, we can help regulate this system. It can also support our ability to adjust our vision. Let’s take a look step by step to understand the mechanisms:
Why Breathing Matters for Vision Our vision is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which constantly shifts between sympathetic (active) and parasympathetic (relaxed) states. If this balance is disrupted, the eyes struggle to adjust properly. Because breathing strongly influences the autonomic nervous system, the way we breathe directly affects how smoothly our vision works.
The Problem with “Deep Breathing” When we feel our breathing has become shallow, many of us try to compensate by forcing deep abdominal breaths. But this doesn’t actually help. In fact, forcing the diaphragm to move disrupts natural relaxation and puts stress on the autonomic nervous system. Instead of calming the body, it can make it harder to maintain balance — including in our vision.
The Hidden Role of Intercostal Muscles During natural, effortless breathing like when we are asleep, most of the work is not done by the diaphragm, but by the anterior intercostal muscles — the small muscles located near the sternum along the ribs. These muscles account for about 70–80% of our breathing at rest. In other words, when we are relaxed, it is mainly these intercostal muscles that keep our breathing smooth and efficient.
The irony is that the more we practice forced abdominal breathing with effort, the less we rely on these intercostal muscles. Over time, this imbalance can cause larger muscles — such as those in the neck — to take over. This disrupts natural breathing, creates unnecessary strain on the body, and gradually destabilizes the autonomic nervous system.
What to Practice Instead Instead of trying to breathe deeply with effort, we should aim to rediscover gentle, effortless breathing. By allowing the intercostal muscles to do their natural job, we support relaxation, keep the parasympathetic system responsive, and maintain the body’s natural ability to shift smoothly between the two states. This balance helps us stay calm, breathe with ease, and preserve the flexibility of our vision.
Conclusion Training the inappropriate muscles only reinforces tension. Training the right ones — the small, often neglected intercostal muscles — helps restore balance to the autonomic nervous system. When that system is balanced and stable, both our breathing and our vision improve.
In the upcoming post, I’ll guide you through a simple breathing exercise designed to engage the intercostal muscles, restore balance to the autonomic nervous system, and improve visual function- See you in the next post! 👉
Here is a brief summary of the benefits you get from the sun light.
Three Key Benefits of Sunlight
Serotonin Boost for Better Mood and Appetite Sunlight increases serotonin—the “feel-good” hormone. It helps regulate mood, sleep, and appetite—making us feel more balanced and crave lighter, healthier meals.
Vitamin D for Immunity and Brain Health Sunlight helps our body make vitamin D, which strengthens the immune system and supports brain function.
Endorphin Release for Natural Stress Relief The warmth of the sun triggers endorphin release—our body’s natural pain relievers. They help relax muscles and calm the nervous system.
Vacations, outdoor activities, relaxing on terraces…Summer brings us closer to nature. We enjoy fresh air and social connection, all of which contribute to both physical and mental well-being. It is the perfect time to care for your body—inside and out. Alongside good hydration and sunshine, why not giving your body Japanese Reset Therapy® it truly deserves.
Japanese Reset Therapy® (JRT) sessions are designed to release tension, balance posture, and support your body’s natural healing.It is achieved by restoring the neuromuscular feedback loop between the brain and the muscles. This reconnection leads to a natural and secondary relaxation of the muscles.
Provide your self with plenty of summer light and electrolytes. Treat yourself to our gentle, effective JRT care this summer!
Japanese Reset Therapy® (JRT) is an innovative method that works on the brain-muscle feedback loop. It helps release tension, improve circulation, correct posture, and awaken your natural healing power. With the right balance of minerals, your body can respond better to any circumstances. It can also enhance the lasting effects of your gentle JRT session.
Summer brings warmth and energy. Still, it also makes us sweat more. With sweating, we lose vital minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. These minerals are essential for nerve signals and muscle contraction.
A deficiency in these minerals can weaken the body’s ability to respond and recover—including how well you respond to JRT.
✨ How to support your body this summer:
Drink mineral-rich water
Choose mineral- rich quality salt like natural rock salt, sea salt, or Okinawan *Snow Salt to support neuromuscular health.
Magnesium deficiency is surprisingly common, one of the big factors due to diets high in processed foods. Replenishing magnesium can make a big difference in how your muscles and nerves function. Natural, mineral-rich salt is essential for health, while refined table salt has a negative impact on blood pressure. It is not the most pleasant topic, but checking the color of your urine is a simple and effective way to monitor your hydration. If it’s dark yellow or orange, it’s often a strong sign of dehydration. If it stays that way, it may worth checking in with your doctor.
➡️ Support your JRT sessions with proper electrolytes. It’s a simple way to feel more relaxed, active, and resilient this summer!
Snow Salt (Yukishio)- recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the salt containing the greatest variety of minerals in the world—18 types in total. In 2024, it was once again recognized for having ‘the most diverse mineral content among salts,’ gaining global attention for its outstanding mineral balance.”The content of magnesium, calcium, and potassium in Snow Salt is approximately 25 times, 7 times, and 17 times higher, respectively, compared to regular table sea salt.The sodium content is almost the same as that of regular sea salt, making it suitable even for those concerned about their salt intake. The amount of chloride is also nearly the same as regular sea salt, indicating a well-balanced mineral composition. https://www.yukishio.com/kodawari/
